Hi all, I have made a patch to virt-install so that it can read default parameters from config file if none are provided from the command line (github link is provided below). https://github.com/palli/python-virtinst/commit/0f54c9d6ab5d026546590cffe3d808adf0d234f2 This gives users ability to create site-defaults (like install location, disk size, virt-type) without specifying them from the command-line every time. I think this is a solid feature. In my field i see a lot of virt-install powerusers create their own shell-script wrappers for this purpose. Below is an example of a configuration file that might be well suited for a stock rhel/fedora machine. Kind regards, Pall Sigurdsson ---- # Default configuration parameters for virt-install # Options specified from the command-line will override these. # Memory (--ram) set default to 1024MB memory 1024 # Disk (--disk) by default create a 10GB disk in default storage pool diskopts pool=default,size=10 # Network (--network) by default create one nic on default network #network network=virbr0 # Use kvm virtualization by default hv_type kvm # Default install location location http://fedora.is/fedora/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os/ # Extra options --extra #extra ks=http://url.to/mykickstart.ks -------------
